Scottish comedian Eddie Large, half of the great UK comedy double act Little and Large with the late Syd Little (only bettered by Morecambe and Wise, and the Two Ronnies), has died aged 78 because of the damned virus.

RIP Edward Hugh McGinnis (25 June 1941-2 April 2020).

And Sir...

RIP Ranking Roger, former singer with The (English) Beat (and the Special Beat with members of the Specials), who died on 26 March 2020 from complications of cancer. With everything else going on, this sad end to an important part of 2-Tone history got a bit lost, as this also ends an era of the Beat themselves who reformed back in 2005 and released a new album in 2016. The good news is that his son carries on vocal duties, maybe when this virus stops they'll come down here.

One of the greatest racing drivers ever, Sir Stirling Moss OBE, has died aged 90, following a long illness.

One of the great champions that wasn't.

RIP Sir Stirling Craufurd Moss OBE (17 September 1929–12 April 2020).

Without doubt a legend in sport.

Also just heard Tim Brooke-Taylor of The Goodies has passed away today. Loved his character on that series, as well as the hilarious radio panel show I'm Sorry, I Haven't A Clue he did afterwards. R.I.P. Timbo
